Our 4th of July weekend recap

We started our weekend by giving our pups baths...yes people VERY exciting saturday night for us. But it was gorgeous out and  they REALLY needed it.




after we sat on our wicker chairs and just enjoyed the evening.

Sunday rolled around and we gave Michael his BDay gift early because well i wanted him to enjoy it for 2 whole days and because i was dying to see his reaction which was as expected, i think he knew he was getting this and was so excited about it!
 



















he did not however know he was also getting this




MLB 10 The Show



his eyes just lit up like a child during Christmas or when i spot a decadent slice of chocolate cake.

Anyway he spent 2 hours playing on that thing while G and i napped before getting ready to head out to meet friend for dinner and fireworks down by Edgewater.

We had an awesome time, the crabhouse ike always was yummy. Michael had clams on the shell, followed by a crabmeat, mango and avocado salad thing, I had Mahi Mahi with mango as well. and then chocolate cake of course with a candle in it for my hubby.
Then we parked our butts outside on the pier and awaited the fireworks!



Macy's; just like last year kicked firework butt! they rocked, and yes we had a better view last year BUT they were not as loud and G actually fell asleep for the finale!




Then we headed home and called it a night.

This morning i set up the baby pool for the boys to play in. D still has his cast n for 1 more week so this was all i could offer. They had a blast.











Dinner was interesting to say the least G loves his bananas... tonight though not so much and he made it very clear as you can see
  

After he got extremely fussy which is very unlike him so while i was trying to soothe him he stuffed my finger in his mouth and i found the culprits of his irritability.
Seemingly overnight his 2 yes BOTH bottom teeth came through!!!
I have been check his gums since he was like 3 months old because all of a sudden he became a drool monster and i had read somewhere that massaging his gums can help ease the pain. I'm telling you for the last 2 months i have not felt anything not even a hint that his teeth where coming, no bump nothing and BAM tonight 2!
Uhm hello little man..monkey ..seriously you NEED to slow down. I want to keep you a baby forever didn't you get the memo?
I'm gonna have to order these tomorrow from amazon as i have heard really good things about them.




 
   

Teething Tabs






















I am curious about these:

Earth's Best Organic Teething Biscuits, Wheat, 
4.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) 


if anyone has any experience with them please let me know. i know they are for older babies though so i'm not sure.

I gave him this teether to try in desperation to give him some relief and he loved it, i guess the little bristles soothes him more than Sophie, but no worries she has yet to be replaced. He fell asleep right away holding sophie and the teether in place of milo.

We gave Michael his cake (Swiss bakery does it again)








And now all my boys are peacefully sleeping and i am basking in the joy of how blessed i am to have such an amazing little family.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
